A 31-year-old from Kitchener has been charged with fraud-related offences following an eight-month investigation by the West Parry Sound Ontario Provincial Police.

The investigation by the crime unit began July 17, 2025, when police received a call about fraud from a construction company in Parry Sound.

“A lengthy investigation took place regarding invoices that were paid by the company but later turned out to be fraudulent, resulting in losses of over $40,000,” police said in a news release March 6.

Charges include fraud over $5,000, uttering forged documents, forgery and identity theft.

The accused will appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Parry Sound on April 30.
